He is a sharp blade lurking in the dark night. He is charged with the mission of destroying the enemy country and enters the palace as a prisoner of war. He originally wanted to use a carefully planned "encounter" to take the emperor's life, but he didn't expect that the person on the dragon throne had a sharp gaze and had already seen through the murderous intention in his eyes. Instead, he imprisoned him beside him and named him "the male concubine".
From then on, the golden palace became his prison and the dragon couch became his battlefield. While he pretended to be meek, he looked for opportunities for assassination in the emperor's favor and temptation, covering the dagger at his waist with tenderness and affection; on the other hand, as he spent time together day and night, he glimpsed the loneliness and ambition behind the emperor's cold mask - that person would put a cloak on him when reviewing memorials late at night, would quietly block hidden arrows for him in court games, and would even be willing to postpone the conquest of his motherland for him.
When the hatred of the country and the family collided with the hidden feelings, and when his blade finally pressed against the emperor's throat, he found that he could no longer tell who was attracted to this entanglement that started with calculations, and who had already fallen into the opponent's "prey". The intrigues in the deep palace were treacherous, and he struggled repeatedly on the edge of the cliff between love and killing. The emperor, who was above him, had already laid a dragnet, waiting for him to willingly put down his sharp blade and share control of the mountains and rivers with him.
Purpose: In the whirlpool of power games and hatred of family and country, explore the struggle and choice of individuals between identity dislocation, emotional fetters and mission responsibilities, reveal the dissolution of hatred by love, the complex aspects of human nature in extreme situations, and the boundaries between sincerity and calculation in power relationships, and finally show how individuals can find the possibility of self-salvation and emotional recovery in the ashes of hatred under the shackles of fate.
